May you join with others to seek God at times of need, understanding it will affect so many others as well, asking God for His mercy, in full assurance of His provision, as you honor Him by your request, turning from all other sources, depending on and deepening your relationship with the Lord, which is the true purpose of all that drives you to, and draws you near, the Presence of God.

May you arm yourself with the same attitude as Christ, Who suffered in His body, that you may be done with sin and, as a result, not live the rest of your earthly life chasing the desires of your own human passions but, rather, for the will of God. 1 Peter 4

May you realize that those who do not know the pleasures of a Godly life which is lived in obedient and humble service to the Lord will think it strange that you do not plunge with them in the same flood of dissipation, debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. They will heap abuse on you, but understand that they will have to give account to Him Who is ready to judge the living and the dead. Be ready, therefore, to preach the gospel to them so that though they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, they may yet live according to God in regard to the spirit. 1 Peter 4

I desire to give you My eyes to see with, My child, so that you will perceive the beauty of My creation, made in My image and testifying to My nature.
I want you to be able to discern between the coating, covering, encrusting blemishes and consequences of sin that distort the appearance of much which surrounds you, My little one, and the true substance of My creation that comes from Me and speaks of Me.
That is how you will be able to treasure those who are Mine, though they offer little beauty for your eyes to see. When you see through My eyes, you understand the treasure of a heart that is intent on serving Me. My eyes will show you the value of a mind whose thoughts are dedicated to sharing the riches of My love.
My spiritual vision will reveal to you the honor I have prepared for those scarred in My service, dirty from work in My fields, wounded and limping from the warfare against My enemy, broken and poured out on My altar with but one thought before them, and that, My precious one, is to make sure My Name is glorified.
Ask Me to show this to you, My dear one, that you may better serve My Body in humility, showing honor to those I choose to honor, encouraging those who need refreshing, strengthening those who are giving all, that your joy, in Me, may be full.

Ezekiel 45

May you not disregard the day of small beginnings, or the benefit of initial steps, for just as the water that flowed from the temple merely made the paving stones damp in the courtyard, as you keep following the path of the Lord’s assignment and walking in His presence, moving in the power of the Spirit, obeying the word of God, you will find yourself going deeper into the life-giving truths of the Lord and bearing the fruit which feeds others and the leaves which bring healing, if you continue and do not falter or turn back.

May you confidently understand and realize with certainty that the Lord knows your name and is fully acquainted with and aware of who you are and what you are like. He has prepared an inheritance for you that will beautifully fit your needs and is perfectly suited to your preferences since He has never taken His eyes off of you. He has studied you in the way a person enjoys a work of art over and over, never growing tired of hearing a lovely song performed, or gazing on a beautiful painting, always finding joy and satisfaction in the smallest details – even so God enjoys you. Ezekiel 48

May you abstain from the sinful desires which war against your soul, since you are aliens and strangers in the world and represent a different King, that you may live such good lives among the pagans that though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God, your King, on the day He visits us. 1 Peter 2

May you submit yourself, for the Lord’s sake, to every authority instituted among men, whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right, for it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. 1 Peter 2

May you submit yourself, as an employee, to your manager and employer with all respect, whether they are considerate or harsh. Bearing up and enduring unjust suffering for doing good, because you are conscious of God, is commendable, but there is no credit for enduring discipline for doing wrong.

May you know that you can die to sins and live to righteousness because Jesus Christ, Himself, bore your sins in His body on the cross, and by His wounds you have been healed; for though you were like a sheep wandering away, now you have returned to the Shepherd and Protector of your soul. 1 Peter 2

May you walk in wisdom toward all who watch so that the conversation of your life-style may show the incorruptible beauty of God’s holiness in your behavior, clothed with the imperishable loveliness of a gentle and tranquil attitude as you continue daily in humble submission to the Father’s Word. 1 Peter 3

My child, I have not called you to a war which is fought with weapons of mass destruction, pursuing a scorched earth policy. Rather, I have engaged you in hostage rescue as you battle an enemy which uses human shields and employs child warriors who cannot determine right from wrong.
You cannot win My victories through weapons of the flesh, of the mind, or of the world, My precious one. You will, at times, have to follow steps that appear to lose the battle in the eyes of the other combatants, suffering loss, bearing shame, enduring scorn, for the true enemy is only defeated by the spiritual power I give you.
The strongholds of lies built by the spiritual forces of evil in heavenly realms are pulled down by your example of humility of heart, meekness toward men, trust in Me, and the greatest of these, the same giving, yielding love toward your fellow man that I showed during My trial and on the cross, for there is no ordinance against these. Through this, men will see the loving nature of the Father Who accepts all who come in repentance.
The deceitfully conscripted ranks of the enemy’s army will see the light of the truth that shines through you as you choose to die to self; they will pull strength from My life, as it appears in you, to break free from the burdensome yoke of the fear of death which has held them prisoner.
So rejoice and give thanks, My dear one, for in your praise to the Father lies the victory for others.

Ezekiel 46

May you prepare your minds for action, be self-controlled, and set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed, for as obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance, rather, just as He Who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do. 1 Peter 1

May you live your life as a pilgrim and a sojourner on earth in reverent fear since you call on a Father Who judges each man’s work impartially, for you know that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down through your forefathers by the precious blood of Christ, a Lamb without blemish or defect. 1 Peter 1

May you rid yourself of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind, and crave pure spiritual milk, like newborn babies, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. 1 Peter 2

May you come to Him, the living Stone – rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to Him—that you also, like a living stone, may be built with others into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2

May you believe and trust in Him Who is the chosen and precious cornerstone, that you will never be put to shame, for to those who do not believe, He Who has become the capstone will be a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, because they disobey the message. 1 Peter 2

May you declare the praises of Him Who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light, for once you had no part with Him, but now He has made you one of His chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, and from Him you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2

Receive My gifts as I give them to you, My child; accept My provision as I make it available.
As a loving Father, I desire the best for you, My dear one, and will include nothing that is deadly or dangerous.

My child, look continually forward to all I have for you.
The past has served its purpose, and I am well able to use the joys and sorrows and pains and delights that you have known, My dear one, to benefit you and establish My will in your life, but only as you release them.
Do not dwell on what is past, for it is gone, and I am in the NOW – therefore abide in Me and hear what I am saying TODAY, for that is how you will have life and receive light.
Do not try to live on the stale crumbs of the past, My precious one, but accept the fresh bread, daily, that I give you to enable you to confront the obstacles and challenges of today. Know the victory I give you over the flesh, the world, and the enemy as I help you drive them out of the land of your life little by little.

Ezekiel 42, John 14

May you put away any thing which receives the portion designated for and claimed by God – any thing or any one to whom you give worship and complete surrender, devotion above all others, thanksgiving and praise for what you have, confession and repentance for forgiveness and cleansing – for only as you remove from the throne what you have placed there and give to God that which belongs to God, and to the world that which belongs to the world, will the Lord come to live and abide with you forever. Ezekiel 43

May you know that the goods and wealth which can be hoarded will not be of use when you truly need it in the day of the Lord, so owe no man any debt except the debt of love, and let good works, done in obedience to the Father, lay up true riches suitable for eternity and appropriate to offer the King.

James 5

May you remember that whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins. James 5

My child, I call you to work, not to idleness.
It is a sacred work that I assign you, one for which you have been shaped and formed by My Hand, trained and equipped by My Spirit. It is not a work you can do in your own strength and skill, nor one that you can accomplish with your own strategies and wisdom.
If you begin to feel you have been given an impossible task, My dear one, then you are beginning to truly see and hear what My Spirit is speaking to your heart.
It is when you feel a dread inside and a concern that you have bitten off more than you can chew, when you start wondering if you were wise to promise to follow Me where I would lead you that I can begin to truly use you in My work.
That is when, in desperation, you will begin to lay aside the useless tools of man and the worthless wisdom of the world and come to Me in humility, asking for My wisdom and seeking to find My strength in My Word.
I rejoice to receive you at the time you feel the most worthless and the least valuable, for I can only use an empty vessel, not one filled with self-confidence and influenced by other agendas.
Empty yourself, My precious one, and receive My infilling; seek Me early for your daily bread and wine and oil, then go in My strength and joy and glory to fulfill My commission, returning empty but obedient, having gone forth bearing fruit and returning bearing the harvest.

May you allow the Lord to draw you closer to Him, into His inner courts, where you can cleanse your hands and feet, made dusty from all you have done and where you have been while ministering to others, so that you can turn and minister to Him as you worship Him in the beauty of His holiness. Ezekiel 40

May you realize, with humility-inspiring awe, that the holy God Who created the universe and cannot be contained, even in the heavens, chooses to dwell in fellowship with you, allowing His majesty to be clothed in flesh, just as His temple, built of enduring stone, was covered with wood into which was carved the enduring truth of His love and the abundant evidence of His mercy. Ezekiel 41

May you bring every desire to God, right or wrong, good or bad, and submit them to Him, accepting His response, not searching for other ways or sources; you will not shock the Lord, for He knows every thought and impulse you have, and He understands the ways of the flesh and knows the thoughts that come, unbidden, to mind, so give them to the One Who is strong enough to overcome them and compassionate enough to love you fully even as He knows you fully. James 4

James 4

May you not speak against your brother or sister in Christ, for you will be speaking against God’s law, which does not make you a doer of the law, but a judge of the law, and of the Lawgiver, the only One Who is able to save and to destroy. James 4

May you acknowledge the sovereignty of God in your plans, confessing by your words that He alone holds the future in His hands, submitting all that you are and everything that you plan unto the lordship of Christ Jesus Who is your Head and Master, and put aside all boasting and bragging which is based on your own resources and abilities, for to know the good you ought to do and not do it is sin. James 4

My child, I am sending you forth as a messenger to carry My tidings to all.
Spend time with Me, My dear one. Listen to My words and tune yourself to My heart. Quiet yourself, My precious one, from the activities and anxieties of what is around you. Know that, in truth, I hold all of your circumstances in My hand. Understand that you can rest in the peace which that realization creates in your heart.
You are to not simply speak of Me, My sent one, but you are to live for Me. Engage in all that occurs around you, encountering all that life brings. Respond through My Spirit, My caring one, walking out My Word.
For unless those who dwell in the world see My love in your life as you deal with the same things they deal with, how will they know the truth of My promises, and the strength of My compassion, and the reality of My victory?

Ezekiel 39

May you never forget that the glory of the Lord will be shown among the nations, and they will know that it was His hand that was laid upon them.

I know you inside and out, My precious one, and I treasure who you are in Me, gladly speaking your name before My Father. What benefit can society give to those they favor which can compare to the Father’s treasures of peace and riches of mercy which He gives willingly and abundantly to you?
Those favored by man will soon be forgotten and replaced by others, but those known to God are eternally satisfied by the joys found in His presence. Do not seek to be known by any but God, My dear one, and seek not to know others except through God.

In the world, shaking will separate, isolate, and break what is shaken, but in My kingdom, shaking will bring together, consolidate, and strengthen that which is of Me, removing all that is of the world.
Allow My Spirit to draw you closer to Me in love, My dear one, for then fear, which has to do with punishment, will have no place in you, and you will be stable and firmly grounded in My Word.

May you not show favoritism as a believer in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, for if you treat two brothers differently on the basis of their clothes or worldly wealth, have you not made divisions within the Body of Christ and used a corrupt standard to make judgments? James 2

May you not harbor resentment or hold on to long-standing grudges that prevent you from showing God’s grace to others in their time of need, for God is just, faithfully measuring out to you, whether great or small, the same measurement you use for others, showing mercy to those who are merciful, and judging you with the same judgment you use on His people.

May you ask God whenever you need wisdom, for He gives generously to all without reproach or finding fault, but be sure your faith is in God alone, not doubting or wavering, for if your loyalty is divided, you will not be able to stay on course or receive anything from the Lord. James 1

May you rejoice in your seasons of want, for then God can strengthen your faith by being more visibly seen as your Source for all your needs; and may you rejoice in your times of plenty, for then you can loosen your grip on the world and grow in humility as you understand God’s favor, and not your ability, brings it to pass. James 1

My child, what convinces you that I am the Lord?
Is it the love and compassion you feel when My Spirit makes My Word real to you and brings life to your spirit as you pray and draw close to Me?
Is it the awe and respectful fear that you experience when you see My power demonstrated in someone’s life, delivering and healing them in a miraculous way?
Is it the weighty and sorrowful conviction of sin when My Spirit moves on your heart to bring cleansing and purifying to your life and your ways?
Is it the dreadful and terrible shaking you encounter when My judgment is executed against the enemy and those who choose to be influenced by him, even to those who call themselves by My Name, but whose hearts are far from Me?
It is your choice, My dear one. I am the Lord, and all mankind will know that I AM.

May you be at rest once more for the Lord has been good to you, delivering your soul from death, your eyes from tears, and your feet from stumbling that you may walk before the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 116
